Why are we STILL not connecting Hashimoto’s + perimenopause?! 🤔

Hashimoto’s is one of the most common autoimmune conditions, and it affects women way more often, especially during hormonal shifts like perimenopause.

👉🏻 Immune System Shift: The “self-attack” of autoimmunity is more likely during hormonal transitions like perimenopause.

👉🏻 Hormonal Chaos: Progesterone, which helps protect the thyroid, begins to decline around age 25, leading to estrogen dominance, which can fuel autoimmune responses.

👉🏻 Overlapping Symptoms: Symptoms of perimenopause often mask Hashimoto’s symptoms (or vice versa) making diagnosis more challenging.

👉🏻 Shared Control Systems: The pituitary gland regulates both the ovaries and the thyroid, meaning a disruption in one system (reproductive) often causes a ripple effect in the other (thyroid).

Our team genuinely understands the complicated relationship between Hashi’s and perimenopause, which is why we run comprehensive thyroid labs for every single hormone patient as part of our standard protocol.

It is incredibly important to rule out any other possible underlying issues when it comes to perimenopause, so we can make sure we are addressing all of your symptoms at the root. ☑️
